late one night at Apollocon I wandered into the media room and they were playing a Finnish amateur parody movie where the Star Trek federation and Babylon 5 fight. It’s called Star Wreck the Pirkinning and you can get it for free from their website http:\/\/www.starwreck.com<\/a> . with the torrent file it only takes about 30min to download all 50Omb. amazing, a legal use for bitorrenting!<\/p>\n

the special effects are spectacular though. it inspired me to netflix the 5th season of Babylon5 which I hadn’t managed to catch when it made the switch to cable. I hadn’t expected Bab5 to hold up so poorly. the Pirkinning which was obviously made by some dudes in a basement seemed far more thrilling and technically proficient. But I suppose it’s been ten years. I’m a lot more cynical now, and technology is that much more advanced.<\/p>\n

the last half of the 90 or so minutes of the Pirkinning is a drawn-out special effects-heavy space battle, with federation ships and star furies duking it out. it’s almost like porn, but an obviously impossible porn, as if Ron Jeremy were doing it with a hentai tentacle-demon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
